I liked the old atom. It cost ~$50k which made it a great value. The v8 one is about $200k and I gotta say, that's not much more car (even though it has like twice the power). It's not even thinkable anymore.

I didn't have trouble with my bowels, but I was shocked. It's no longer a car that I would ever think of getting as a toy. When my house is paid for, I can see a 50K toy. . . Not that much though. They said 150,000 pounds, and that's like 220-230-ish in dollars. That's nuts.

I also was a little perplexed when I read 5 speed. I think that's a typo.

Its hardly a car and you still need a damn good driver to keep it on the ring. Otherwise all that power to weight distribution is out the window. The Ring is a technical challenge like no other. Driving a F1 on it would take a crap load of skill and experience, let alone a Atom V8.
